A. C, Oelschig. 



August Carl Oelschig. 68 years old, 

 founder and senior member of the A. 

 C. Oelschig iV: Sons' Floral Company, 

 died on Thursday, Oct. 12, at his home 

 in Savannah, Ga., after an illness last- 

 ing about IS months. 



Mr. Oelschig was born in the king- 

 dom of Saxony, Germany, November 

 27, 184S, and lived there till 1874, when 

 he came to America. On arriving in 

 the United States he secured employ- 

 ment with Gabriel Marc, in Wood- 

 side, L. 1., N. Y. In 1881 he went to 

 Savannah to grow rose plants for the 

 northern trade, which he continued 

 for a number of years, finally ventur- 

 ing into the retail business, adding in 

 later years the wholesale growing of 

 rubber plants, which he continued 

 with the aid of his sons until his 

 death. He was also the introducer of 

 the wild smilax, palm leaves, southern 

 palms, and pine tops for decorative 

 purposes. 



During bis many years' residence in 

 Savannah Mr. Oelschig was regarded 

 as one of the leading factors in Ger- 

 man social and benevolent activities. 

 He has been for many years a mem- 

 ber of the S. A. F. and served several 

 terms as state vice-president. His 

 genial disposition and smile for every- 

 one endeared him to all. His funeral 

 was largely attended and numerous 



floral tributes marked his last resting 

 place. 



He is survived by a widow, two sons 

 and four daughters. The business 

 will be continued under the manage- 

 ment of his sons.
